"Hollywood Strike Averted As IATSE & AMPTP Reach Deal On New Film & TV Contract," 16 Oct. 2021

With Hollywood on edge and picket signs at the ready, [the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees] IATSE and the [Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers] AMPTP have reached an agreement on a new film and TV contract, averting a threatened nationwide strike.

... “Our members will see significant improvements, but our employers also will benefit,” said Mike Miller, vice president and Motion Picture Director for IATSE. “This settlement allows pre-production, production and post-production to continue without interruption. Workers should have improved morale and be more alert. Health and safety standards have been upgraded.”

... The union’s chief goals were livable wages for the lowest paid crafts; more turnaround time between workdays; actual meal breaks; a rescue of the union’s ailing pension and health plan; and a bigger share of the revenue from streaming shows.
